@theschoolofmusic thanks! now i will start from a thinner pick, then if i already know more about guitar, styles of playing it, and know how to ear the music, i'll go to the thicker ones,..but what kind of thickness is the best for acoustic players? sorry for my bad english XD

what kind of pick is right for me? i'm a begginner, an acoustic player..both plucking and strumming..what characteristics of a pick is better for me?

@deoxynchro Thanks for the question. Most beginners will want a thinner pick. Thinner picks give less resistance when you strum, and therefore, strumming requires less energy. The trade off is that you will lose sound quality. As you become a stronger strummer with a better ear for music, you will most like start moving up the thickness options for your pick. For example, I use something called an Ultex jazz III pick because it is very thick and small and allows me to be more accurate.

@deoxynchro 50mm is a good choice. Thank you so much for asking. Good luck.
